"For Halloween this year I dressed as The Scarecrow from Batman. There are many versions of the character from various media, but I based my costume mainly on the Animated Series version. The costume was handmade (excluding the hat and gloves which were purchased and slightly modified). I generally spend weeks every year making an elaborate Halloween costume and have been doing so since the 1990s, but this is the first time I will be putting pictures online. On Sunday October 30th I participated in the Kawasaki Halloween festival, Japan's largest Halloween event, along with 3500 others. The concept for the mask comes from fellow deviant boredman, and credit for its design goes to him. I simply looked at his awesome Scarecrow cosplay and replicated the mask that I saw. Enjoy!"

Incorporating a futuristic Victorian perspective on fashion, culture, and
technology, steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction that came to popularity in the eighties. Inspired and
influenced by 19th century science fiction, steampunk is inexorably intertwined with a distinctive style that sets it apart and widely inspires cosplayers of all walks of life. Here, we're gathered together a gallery some of the best examples of steampunk cosplay around the web.

Steampunk: Twisting history, crafting community For devotees of Steampunk, the most appealing
aspect of the community is that there’s no set of rules dictating the
right way to participate. But this fact also poses its own thorny line of questioning for outsiders: Just what is Steampunk?

my cosplay for Fan Ex I had fun learned that armor is hard to make and not fun to wear it was defiantly a learning experience.

Black Rock Shooter is a 2010 Japanese original video animation produced by Yutaka Yamamoto's studio Ordet and directed by Shinobu Yoshioka. The 50-minute OVA is based on the song of the same name by Supercell and its accompanying music video with illustrations by Huke. Musical composer Ryo and Huke, both members of Supercell, collaborated on the project. A "Pilot Edition" of the anime was released on DVD and Blu-ray Disc in September 2009, and the full version was released on DVDs bundled with select magazines from July 24, 2010 and is subtitled in seven languages.

Yeah okay so the title is boring, what of it?
This shot was taken by my friend who did a really awesome photoshoot of
my two costumes. This one was one of my favorites because it showed off
the makeup designs and it's one of the few shots where you can see some
of the armor up close.

It was actually raining during out
photoshoot, which was great for lighting, but I was so afraid our makeup
would run. We had no issues though except for a giant water droplet
landing right in my eye.

"Here it is our photo shoot of the lovely Rana Mcanear the actual
model for Samara for Mass Effect 2. Believe me Mass Effect fans it was
bizzare seeing her fully dressed up, literally like the game had come to
life. This was shot out in Los Angeles during our stay in September for
the final touches to our fashion collection Avant-Afi.com

Leonard Carson, an engineering technician for San Diego Composites, had
been toying around with this idea of a carbon fiber Stormtrooper for a
long time. He finally convinced three of his engineering co-workers to
jump on board with turning this carbon fiber idea, into a carbon fiber
reality.

These are the first ever carbon fiber Stormtrooper suits. The cost to produce these were as much as a mid range BMW sedan.

"Surprisingly comfortable, incredibly cool. If you want to be the best
dressed at any masquerade, this is the fellow for you. He sits on the
head like a well sized hat, his rather slight weight evenly distributed.
He's out of the way enough to eat hors-d-oeuvres, though you should
certainly take a straw. Also, unlike a traditional mask with strings, he
easily lifts off and on the head without any need for knots or
assistance. And, finally, he's a dinosaur."

If you have a spare five thousand dollars to drop on a piece of wearable art, look no further. You can order your own Triceratops mask through Etsy.
